Xtra Needs Extra Time

Last night on ABC 7 Xtra with Darren Hunt was a great show. Hunt had City Reps Holguin and Ortega on the show and they talked about the new stadium.

The show could've gone on for an hour and it would've still been interesting. Too bad they show is only 30 minutes. Its a shame because it should really be an hour. There really is enough content in those shows to run a full hour.

There are plenty of phone calls, emails, and tweets and I really think that it would be good to have a full hour of that show. Especially with the absence of credible talk radio in El Paso Xtra would benefit from some extra time.

Its probably not going to happen, but as a fan of the show myself, I'd like to see it go an hour. Especially because you don't have any other local platform in town with any level of credibility that will examine both sides of an issue. Especially when you consider the fact that its television.

Not sure if the big shots at ABC 7 care what I think, but I'm betting it wouldn't be too difficult to sell spots for the time.
